Due to no new candidates coming forward to run for the Weld Re-4 districtís two open school board seats, the election was canceled Tuesday afternoon and current members Sean Ash and Carlene Irion were re-elected to their positions by acclamation.

According to Sherry Hoffman, the election official and executive assistant to the superintendent, itís quite common to not see anyone step up and run for open school board seats.

ďItís a huge time commitment, and itís an unpaid position,Ē Hoffman said, adding itís the perfect job for someone whoís passionate about Windsorís kids and education.

Ash (District A) and Irion (District C) will be sworn in at the November board meeting, starting their new 4-year terms. Hoffman said both will be term limited now and, therefore, wonít be able to run again in 2017 when their terms expire.
